The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Can’t believe Iβ€˜m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

Trump: Pro-crypto or Pro-crime? Or are they the same thing?

Krugman:
Why would Trump pardon HernΓ‘ndez, who was convicted of conspiring to send over 400 tonsΒ of cocaine to America? The answer is the influence of the crypto/tech broligarchy. Many of Trump’s pardons of egregious criminals are linked to their influence.”
